Barnwell Mountain Recreation Area

Located high atop the Barnwell Mountains of East Texas is one of the state's best kept offroad secrets - the Barnwell Mountain Recreational Area.

Opened in 2000, this Texas Motorized Trails Coalition property offers motorcycle, ATV, and OHV enthusiasts 1,850 acres of pure delight. The Mountain has something for everyone including a 27+ mile single track trail for dirt bikes and miles of scenic trails and challenging hills for ATVs and OHVs.

Primitive campsites and RV hookups with 30 Amp receptacles are available. Other amenities include showers, restrooms, an air station, a pavilion, and on-site management.

The park facilities and trail systems were designed and constructed specifically for motorized off-road purposes. The trail system was developed by the all-volunteer TMTC membership and is mapped and rated with proper signage.

Whether you are an offroad pro, a novice, or something in between, you will find fun and adventure for the whole family in a unique and beautiful outdoor setting at Barnwell Mountain.

Come visit us this weekend!
